The Dolphins don't want to move Allen to safety for good reason. Teams need to play three cornerbacks much of every game and Allen, assuming he returns to form from knee surgery, would be integral to that. The decision is this:

A. Keep Allen at his career strength of cornerback and hope one of the unproven safeties emerges in Chris Clemons, Tyrone Culver or Rashad Jones.

B. Move Allen to safety and use someone like Jason Allen or rookie Nolan Carroll in the nickle package as the third cornerback.

This doesn't even cover the idea that teams typically need four or five cornerbacks in a season due to injury. So you can see why the Dolphins would be hesitant to do B. For now, the hope is one of the safeties plays well enough to answer some questions.
